help! contractual employee

Can I file immediate resignation, I'm in a 5 month contractual employee but I already wanted to resign they gave me a different post, not the one I was interviewed for. there's no provision as well in my contract stating that I have to render a period of time if I resign. I didn't undergo any training as well. Can I file immediate resignation or if I do AWOL, what are the legal implications of that? Thanks.

You may actually file an immediate resignation but the company may hold you liable for damages (But considering attorney's fees/litigation costs and how much they will collect, they might just opt not to). If you can talk with them about letting you leave without incident and 30 more days to wait, much better. Tell them it was not the position you applied for.

Now if you are given "unbearable treatment" in your current employment, you can simply resign anytime.
